[0001] The present invention relates to transgenic carrot plants comprising at least one gene encoding a transcription factor or a heterologous DNA sequence encoding a transcription factor gene operably linked to a promoter, which is expressed in the transgenic plant and increases at least one gene encoding a mustard Expression of acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT) gene. The sequence of USAGT can be SEQ ID NO:4, or a sequence at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO:4. The present invention also relates to the DNA sequences encoding the transcription factor genes DcMYB90 (SEQ ID NO: 1) and DcEGL1 (SEQ ID NO: 2), and transgenic carrot plants comprising the corresponding DNA sequences operably linked to heterologous promoters. The transgenic plants of the present invention may be used in a method of preparing an anthocyanin (anthocyanin)-containing composition, which method may comprise producing a transgenic carrot plant of the present invention and isolating the anth...
